* Get bread starter.
* Spend ten days to turn bread starter into 4 bread starters.
* Spend stardard bread baking time to turn one bread starter into one bread.
* Distribute remaining bread starters as follows: 2 to "friends", one to self

End result, you have your bread and eat it too.

2009 is being declaced a complete waste for me! The Jehovas Witnesses came to my house today and I completely failed to convert their religion*. I prepare all year for this day, and I have the whole dialog in my head ready to go.

Friendship bread is the email forward of yesteryear. First you receive the "friendship bread" from someone who "cares about you". This bread only lasts for 10 days and then goes bad.

the way to landing, and so on. Would be awesome.

Either way, my stuff should arrive on Friday now. I am impressed with
Amazon Prime, and I would like to find…

The FASB today demonstrated its complete lack of backbone by
suspending mark-to-market valuation for banks' assets.
This undermines the relevance of financial accounting altogether.
In other words: banks and politicians win; "independent" accounts lose.
In other words: FASB has gone the way of ISO
